Plate Shoes

[Aging_Arbiter]

If you are looking for $ deals, there was a company who hadd a special last year for a Pair of plate shoes and pair of base shoes for $100. I think he's up by about $5 a pr this year. Not that I would deviate from my Gerry Davis shoes, but you asked.............

I recently also purchased the new reebok plate shoes in the low top version. I don't really care for the look or that of the new balance either, but didn't see NB in a low version. The shoes seem a little narrow. I am hoping that they will break in nicely, but only time will tell, will probably wear them around the house, inside the house that is, and see if they lossen up a little, as they are just a hair snug.

Man, if you got them from NB, you could have exchanged them for a wider size, or a half a size bigger or both and they would have paid for the shipping.

I wasn't down with the NB look when they came out. I don't care for the look of high tops either. That held true until I tried on a pair of the 450s. Heaven. The big cutout in the back takes out the hightop feel, so you can get out of the box quickly.

I just got mine about a week ago from shoebuy. I tried them on and couldn't believe I was in plate shoes. I wore them about an hour around the house to start breaking them in; they feel like tennis shoes.

I can't wait to get them on the field........

felt so good on my initial wearing/try on that I went out and worked a game in them that very day, within minutes of trying them on. They felt great immediately. I Never looked back. Sold my Gerry Davis high tops the next week.

I got em from Honig's and I did get half a size bigger. I tried on like 8 different pair at the clinic in San Diego, and they shipped em to me. It was the closest low top that I could get to my old school plate shoes with the goodyear sole on em, which finally after 6 years blew out in July. And Honig's takes care of their customers like that, at least that has been my experience.
